A look back at an incredible night of live music at The Strand Theater!

Last month, RAEL took the stage and brought the music of Genesis and Peter Gabriel to life with an unforgettable performance! From the incredible musicianship to the energy on stage, it was a fantastic night celebrating some truly iconic music.

A big thank you to RAEL and everyone who joined us for the show! We love bringing talented performers and live entertainment to the Lakewood community.
